You see it all the time. A Black man is killed by police. His family, friends, and community take to the streets and they raise Hell! People get fired.
When Whites are wronged by the system, they shrug their shoulders and quietly say "What can you do?"
Why are White people now days so scared to challenge any authority or fight for anything?

Blond hair and blue eyes, yes you don't get much whiter than me. That does not change the fact that American Whites are a cowardly lot.
I've seen a theater packed with 200 Whites allow 3 Black teenagers to ruin the movie for them. They dare not say a word.
I have seen police run over a White girl and the family and community said not a peep. Can you imagine if it had been a Black lady?
One thing I have admired about Blacks is that they don't take no crap off the system!

Individual people do things that are wrong or right. Not entire races. I think if you are going to have that view, then historically, "white" people have enslaved and wronged many different races, and the political correctness of today's society calls for the cowardice you are talking about. The downside is, all of these reparations and equal opportunity crap only condone more racism by accenting the separation of race in the first place.
Besides-there truly is no "white" race. If you are white, as I am considered to be-you are probably the descendant of many mixtures of races such as French, German, Swedish, American Indian, Russian etc etc etc. There is no White race because race is defined by place of origin, dna differences, appearance, etc. So how is it possible for the "whites" to be wronged by the system?

I think it's the way a person is raised and the communities they come from rather than the race. If your parents taught you to have trust in the police force and that making official complaints are the proper way to seek out injustice then you'll more likely be doing the same.

What makes you the expert on what whites do?
White or black, people handle wrongdoing differently some are quiet and others are more verbal. I never knew how anyone could go on camera and display their grief anyway!!
Why does everything have to be a race issue, you are just looking for controversy!!

I am as an individual. the baddest man in town.some black boys made up a song about me. being bad. I kicked so many peoples a s s I personally make a stand with my beliefs. thats for sure, have had two laws changed, protested the viet nam war etc.. but your right, I would like to see white people stand up for white people. the other day a lady told her boyfriend she might hurt herself.. the police came and went in her home she had a shot gun, did nt poin t it at them but they opened fire , killed her, a man in the surf had a gun, way out in the waves, the policemen saw the gun, he shot him dead,he didnt point it at him. they had witness s the police shoot even if they don't need to, I admire black people for standing up for themselfs. not burning down buisness s thats crazy, but to march in the streets yes thank you for makeing a stand I admire Y'all. white people dont care as much . I dont think.or they would be protesting, they trust the law when they shouldnt. they say hey, well what can I do, the law killed an ennocent person so damn what. it wasnt me. they have better things to do. I truly do wish white people and all people would make more of a stand, to voice there oppinions, to protest, to march . Amen Brother.ow you were talking about blacks, I have kicked so many black boys a s s they call me lionhead and made that song up about me, not every white is afraid thats for damn sure not my freinds eather. Its took me a number of times haveing a shoot out with one, takeing the pistol from another, and other fights to make them respect me. it took time.

Reverse racism.
We went from 'black people suck', to 'white people are evil and should apologize for their race's sinful ways' while trying to get to, 'who effing cares?'
Black people have unending whining rights. The white man oppresses them. The white man enslaved them. The white man took them out of Africa. Well, you know what? Shut up. You weren't enslaved, you aren't oppressed, and you could go back to Africa if you wanted to but I doubt you would.
Black people are seen as these innocent, disadvantaged, perfect people while white people have all the breaks and don't have the right to complain. It's really screwed up.

Justice should be justice for every human being of any color. Black skinned humans have been enslaved and persecuted for hundreds of years or more. I am very happy that humans of different skin color, can finally be united and feel free enough to fight for their beliefs, as all of humanity should.

Aren't you White yourself? (from looking at your avatar.)
You're being stereotypical. Your question is similar to "Why are Asians eyes so small?"
Just because one White person is cowardly, doesn't mean all Whites are.

We don't blame other people for our problems. We've accepted our strengths and weaknessess. We don't challenge authority, unless there is cause; never just automatically like some do.
